Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2189292A1] A method of multi-pass dot matrix printing, wherein a print head (30) records print data on a medium in swaths by scanning the print head relative over the medium along a fast scan direction (33) bidirectionally and by feeding the medium relative to the print head along a feed direction (34) transverse to the fast scan direction comprises the step of predetermining a chronological order of recording the swaths and a sequence of medium feeds for obtaining the chronological order. The sequence comprises medium feeds in a forward sense (31) of the feed direction and medium feeds in the reverse sense (32) thereof. The chronological order of recording and the sequence of medium feeds are so selected that recorded swaths form a superposition of layers of swaths, each layer formed of a juxtaposition of at least portions of swaths and that for at least one layer of said superposition, the swaths forming said at least one layer are recorded by fast scans of the print head running in a same fast scan sense. Printing apparatuses for carrying out said methods are disclosed as well.
